I am glad to see this game played early. It is not a rivalry game for and do 't want it portrayed that way with a season ending game.
Regarding our name, Bruno may have agreed to it, but ULM athletics refers to us as Ragin Cajuns and ULL. It does not use Louisiana or LA.
Regarding our LA abbreviation, that is not being used. ESPN has come on board with Louisiana, but still uses ULL as our abbreviation. I am yet to see LA used anywhere. Locally, media use of UL. I don't know if LA will ever catch on. Maybe we just need to give it more time. Too bad we can't use ULA.
